Manually Install ERPNext on a Manual Install of Frappe

ERPNext is an Enterprise Resource Planning suite similar to Odoo. It manages every aspect of your business from time and expense tracking and payroll to invoicing and manufacturing.

Installing ERPNext is simple enough if you go with their automated approach, but can be a little more tricky when you’re wanting to control where services are. The automated install assumes everything is on the same box however it’s very likely you’ll have your database installed elsewhere.

ERPNext uses a Python framework called Frappe which must be installed before you can use ERPNext. This guide assumes you’ve completed the previous post in this series of manually installing Frappe.

To install ERPNext into your existing Frappe install, change to the frappe user and install the erpnext app.
